0:00.0	Thank you for listening to my morning monologue.
0:03.8	Brought to you by Golden Crest Metals, helping everyday investors protect what they've worked so hard to build by adding gold and silver to retirement portfolios.

0:18.6	Remember, you can hear my radio program daily on Sirius XM Triamp and connect with me 24-7
